The “MuKi”

One of the kids’ favorite weekly activities since we have moved here is the “MuKi” (moo-kee) at the church we are currently attending. The name stands for “Mutter Kind” (mother and child), and it is a weekly get-together for moms with little children. Each week’s meeting has the same structure: we sing, hear a story from the Bible, have Frühstück (a second little breakfast) and have a time to do rhymes and more songs. I especially enjoy that it is something we can all do together. Since moms stay with their kids the whole time, I learn the songs they learn, hear the stories they hear and get to know their new little friends. Naomi’s absolute favorite part is that for the last song the kids get to stand on their chair and all jump down at the same time (why am I not surprised?). It has also been a real blessing for the kids’ German as well as for me in meeting other moms from the church.
